Objects...how do we look at objects, think about them, and consider their meaning? While an inanimate object can't necessarily have meaning, an individual can attach their own meaning to that object/possession. Isn't that how things become important to us? When I visited the NYC MOMA over the holidays I had taken note of a work by Joseph Kosuth, his piece One and Three Chairs I had seen and studied in art history but had overlooked in my research of objects. This image from the MOMA site (http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A3228&page_number=1&template_id=1&sort_order=1) provides the viewer with a photograph of a chair, a chair, and the dictionary definition. This work presents different ways to view the object, as I continue to think about objects and question how we perceive our belongings it seemed pertinent. As well as in thinking about how we view the semiotics of objects.
A few weeks ago I saw the work of Sandi Haber Fifield (http://sandihaberfifield.com/) at Gallery Kayafas in Boston. I was intrigued by the way she juxtaposes her images together as well as some of her interior subject matter.
Hoping to soon start making some new audio recordings and photographing in and around my neighborhood.
